Macau-Hong Kong cross-border ambulance service used for first time

A 79-year-old man from Hong Kong became the first patient to use the newly launched cross-border ambulance service between Hong Kong and Macau. The man, who had been treated for heart issues at Conde S. Januário Hospital in Macau, was later stabilized and transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital in Hong Kong for further care. The cross-border ambulance service, which began operations in late 2024, is designed to assist patients traveling from Macau to Hong Kong for non-emergency treatments. It does not handle emergency cases or transfers of patients from Hong Kong back to Macau.
